My skin is glowing

I've been using this product for almost a month and my skin is looking. I don't know if it's the product alone or in combination with peeling pads, Differin gel and vitamin c, but I like it. Only wish it was a little cheaper.

Scars are gone!

I have been using Skinceuticals Vit C serum for years so thought I would try the Discoloration Defense as well and it is the best decision I have ever made for my skin! My acne scars and sun spots are already fading and I have had multiple family members comment on how great my skin looks.

Got it as a sample

I got a big bottle of this as a sample. I didn't really notice a huge difference on my red spots.

Amazing for discoloration

One of the few products that does what it advertises. Some discoloration takes longer to fade than others but it works for sure!

dark spots lighter but still there

Ok, so I have been using this for a year (morning/night) along with retin-A at night and SPF in the daytime. Together, skin is improved and the dark spots are lighter but definitely still visible. I'm thinking, "Do I need a procedure? Maybe..." Before that, I will try different lightening product when Discoloration Defense runs out.

Haven't noticed any changes....

I have been using this for almost 2 weeks and haven't noticed any change. That might not be enough time but I read other reviews where people said they bought 2 bottles before they started seeing changes, if at all. Considering you only need a few drops a day at most, that seems like it would take many months to see a difference. I just think there must be better options, especially given how expensive this is. I really love this brand but I'm not sold on this product.

An Everyday/All year long Product

My dermatologist recommended this product in the AM for me. I've got on again/off again melasma and the derma said doing this daily in the morning right after I cleanse will help with the discoloration. It has helped the discoloration for sure (I use a prescription cream at night for the melasma). It's now a staple to my facial routine.
